5 Simple Tips from Head Trainer
Peter.
(AS SEEN ON OUR TESTIMONIAL PAGE) I recently asked Peter Head
Trainer from the Keith Crows Football Club (Amateur/County) to give
me an assessment on how Zone Sports Foam has worked at his club. He
replied,
Thanks mate, you have a real winner- Peter, Head Trainer of
Keith Crows Football Club
After reading Peters awesome testimonial on Zone Sports Foam, I
thought it would be easy to draw on a couple of tips.
Peter has shown some great leadership and has shown that it
doesn't matter what level your working at that if you have the
right attitude and basic philosophies that you and your club can be
the REAL winner.
1. Be resourceful
2. Think outside the square
3. KISS - Keep it simple stupid, don't make
things harder than they are!
4. Continually improve and test your skills
5. Prevention will always save you time
money!

5 BLISSFULL TIPS for BLISSFULLWALKING
I have recently had quite a few enquires about the benefits of
Zone Sports Foam for events such as the Oxfam 100 km walk. So I
thought I would quickly put together a few tips for those getting
ready or contemplating this type of gruelling event.
Prevention and Preparation are the most important keys to
beating this age old problem of friction blisters.
My Top 5 Simple Tips to a blissful blister free walk are;
1. It sounds so basic -but make sure you choose the right shoe
and Walk them in. Break them in and get to know how they feet feel.
Walking in them will stretch them to their actual size in your
foot.
( It is recommended that you use Zone Sports Foam for the first
few times to stop any excess friction and any unwanted blisters-
This applies to all boots including Football Boots).
2. Make sure your shoes are Water proofed (as best as possible)
as moisture can cause maceration an be a huge problem.
3. Ensure they are comfortable and the right size. If they are
too big your foot will slide and create friction on the soles of
your toes and heels. Also, if they are too tight it more damage
will be created on the top and outside of your feet.
4. Your socks are vital, ensure they aren't cotton as they sweat
more and create more heat in your shoe (which creates those little
nasty things called blisters).
> Wear two pairs of socks and turn the first pair inside out
so the seams of both pairs are rubbing together rather than on your
toes. There are many types of breathable socks on the market.
5. Use Zone Sports Foam Protection Pad as it is a protective
barrier guarding against hot spots on the back and bottom of your
heels, insteps of your feet and the outsides of your toes.
>Cut the right size and secure well with fix manual or sports
tape so that the pad doesn't move.
For the 100 km walks, I would recommend that you tape your
ankles and use Zone Sports Foam underneath. Doing this will secure
the Protection Pad and also give you the added protection against
injuring your ankles on rough terrain.
Best of Health,
Matt Norris
